He was the first to sue the NBA for control of his image (and won) The league believes it owns you if you play in their world MJ didnt allow them to control him. He gave far more than they ever paid him. Im not just another super fan on his jock strap. Not at all I am a fan but he is like I said in other post the 2nd gr8st player after Bill Russell. Oh and MJ has to recoup his ex wife(a lawyer) took 1/2 his scratch for cheating. (Not so bright 1 marrying a lawyer and cheating on her) Stars make the league in the NBA and Jordan is the brightest star. So MJ get that money!!!!! Pimp ur legacy forever!!!!

David Stern saw the potential in MJ when MJ was a college player and busted the pros ass in olympic practice. In those days college kids played the euros and the nba was the practice for them. SI hit the stands with “Here comes Mr Jordan”( I still have it mint condition)and Dave Vader ran with it. Chicago was a terrible team when MJ joined. One thing about Stern, he aint a former bballer but he knows where his bread was buttered and he makes money for the owners. Heck those practices convinced MJ he was ready for the league. Thank Dave Vader for the phenomenon that is MJ.

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 17:21:50 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=160125#comment-1793731Forbes or any other financial base outlet doesn’t know what someone actually made or what they are worth. It is just a lot of speculation. Remember Tiger’s ex-wife was allegedly going to get 700m for a divorce settle and it appears that she only got barely 100m.
So, I don’t think that Tiger is worth what Forbes says he’s worth and he is certainly not the only,I would say minority athlete, not black athlete, because Tiger doesn’t consider himself as being black, as the first athlete to bank a billion dollars. If MJ sales over a billon dollars for brand Jordan, he clearly has to have made a billon dollars himself. If he hasn’t he is still selling himself way too short and just making companies rich off of his name….which is just dumb founded.

He played well, quit to play baseball, came back won again. He is considered the greatest athlete ever and I loved MJ back then, but honestly I am tired of hearing about him. He has not played in an meaningful NBA game for almost 13 years. We have stars now, who go by one name only and MJ is still banking money. I like MJ, but I am tired of hearing his name dealing with basketball. I know he is BOBcats owner, but I don’t want to be like Mike anymore. I wish slam would have only one MJ article a month quota. BOOK IT!!

On the topic at hand, anyone think MJ will propose all sporting apparell companies have a salary cap so that the Asics and New Balances of the world can compete on a level playing field with Nike and Adidas?

But that’s just me, I have always hated golf and fail to see how Tiger Woods, or any of them, could make so much off endorsements playing a boring a** sport.
Sorry y’all, I’m an unabashed hater when it comes to golf…

When MJ was in his prime, he was still on a contract that was negotiated before he blew the L up and helped create the huge salaries we see today. If there was no salary cap, I bet every single owner in the L would find a way to offer MJ-in-his-prime a yearly salary north of $40mil/year.
